Abstract
Optical technologies play an important role in diverse fields, ranging from telecommunications to medical diagnostics. While optical heating has often been considered as a challenge in many applications, we have harnessed this obstacle as an opportunity, leading to the development of heat-mediated optical manipulation technologies. With their expanded working modes, versatile working environments, low power operation, and the ability to manipulate diverse objects, these new technologies overcome existing limitations of conventional optical tweezers and have advanced applications in numerous areas, including cell biology, behavioral science, micro/nanorobotics, disease diagnostics, nanomedicine, nanomanufacturing, and nanometrology. Moreover, we synergize heat-mediated optical manipulation with machine learning to enhance optical microscopy, allowing us to reveal intricate biological structures and functions with unparalleled sensitivity, resolution, and speed. In addition,we incorporate principles of biomimicry and machine learning in the design of nano-architected materials. These materials demonstrate exceptional capabilities in manipulating light. Some of these materials showcase superior performance in passive radiative cooling beyond the bounds of evolution.
